SteelSeriesApex 3 - RGB Gaming Keyboard - 10-Zone RGB Illumination - Premium Magnetic Wrist Rest - IP32 Water & Dust Resistant - English QWERTY Layout PC, Standard, Black

Very soft keyboard, not really loud, the keys work with low pressure, very good for gaming. The lights are beautiful and diffused. The volume and the extra button are a nice touch, I didn't think i'd need it but surprise surprise. It is heavy enough, seems very sturdy and the magnet pad had a nice touch it's just really good. Worth the money for me.

Top quality as usual from SteelSeries, very comfortable with the magnetic wrist support. Minimal to zero lag, perfect for gaming yet quiet keys compared to mechanical keyboards so great for general office work. RGB adjustable via software and the brightness can be adjusted on the keyboard via the SteelSeries key.

Had for ~6 months now(maybe, my time-keeping is not very good), had no issues reliability-wise but will keep you updated if I do.I got this because my old keyboard was in tatters, so I replaced it with this, and was very pleased. First and foremost, this keyboard can actually run more than 4 keys at once, which I tried searching for while I was browsing the reviews of this, but no-one had mentioned that. But yeah, for playing games, this one is great because it actually registers enough keys to sprint and jump at the same time (I did a lot of gmod chases, I know, I’m sad like that).The general quality is great, the materials feel high quality like steel (as the name suggests), and it is quite ergonomic and the wrist rest is good, however, when typing an essay, it is not very easy to do as the keys poke out so much (but to be fair, that’s not its intended use).The lights are very cool, with 3 different settings and adjustable brightness. If you download the Steelseries Engine program on your computer, you can make your own pattern and do other things which I have not tried yet. The weird thing is, sometimes the pattern set will just reset back to default, making you re-load the Engine and set it again, which isn’t a big problem, but ever so slightly annoying.Overall, this is a great keyboard for gaming for an amazing price hence why I would give it a 9.5/10!

Pros:-SWITCHES. great. they're a really nice type of membrane that feel really stable. better than any other membrane i've used. for someone used to a normal membrane this thing is amazing. for someone used to mechanical, it varies: in my opinion they're a nicer version on the blues, they have a nice solid bump to press going down, the rubber makes them quiet but not squishy when they hit the bottom.-TYPING. because of the solid bump they're great for typing, nicer than mechanicals in my opinion-GAMING. having tried out many keyboards for gaming i notice that you really can get used to any switches while gaming so that doesnt matter that much. dont notice any feeling of slowness or input lag. (warning: this item does not make you good at any game)​-QUALITY. everything but the wheel top right is made of a rubber coated plastic, high quality for price. nice rubber on all keyboard feet and wrist rest.-KEYS. had this for a while now and none of the keys/switches feel any different or defected yet-SPACEBAR. i have to give credit to the spacebar and the rest of the larger keys, they have amazing stability. the space probably wobbles less left to right than the other keys. that individual switch feels exactly like the rest which is rare on a keyboard on keyboards even above this price range.-RGB. the rgb (lights) are great. supposed to be fully customisable with software but i think its bugged at the moment. no big deal though because default is fine. brightness can be turned down and off if you like that.Cons:-CAPS. any of the light beneath the logo top right for caps,number lock etc, cannot be seen without leaning over the keyboard because they’re positioned behind the base of the high switches. pretty irritating as you can imagine.-MEDIA BUTTON. they media button below the wheel doesnt feel great (very hard press and not great quality. not that big of a deal worth mentioning.-WRIST REST. although, a nice addition, nice metallic attachment, and nice heavily rubberized coating making it as comfortable as a hard slab of plastic can be, matte rubber coating picks up marks like crazy. i dont get particularly sweaty hands but after using it for like 5 mins marks a visible and after a long night-time gaming session, i have to wipe it down and all. if you want to use a wrist rest though, its worth getting a nice one aswell.Conclusion:amazing all round keyboard, would spend twice as much for it. if it wasnt for the cons.
